“I sense onsen parties in our future.”
“What, just so you can see their patterns? You can just ask. Alexi can take photos.”
“The ladies would just show the patterns?”
“This isn’t something they inherited. It showed up when they bumped into an alpha, and two days later, their back itched.”
“Is that what happened to you?”
“Sure. I bumped into you outside one of the board meetings. Two days later, I was itchy, and then I freaked out because it looked like someone had clawed my back. I got used to it.”
He nodded. “And you forgot it was there. Lucky for me.”
She smirked. “If you say so. Once I get stabilized, I am going to make your life an endless torment.”
“Oh, talk dirty. I like it.”
She burst out laughing, turned, and pulled him down to her by his tie. Their kiss started slow and then built into ferocity until there was a sharp whistle nearby. Liirel was standing there and shaking her finger. “These few hours are her last without a firm tie to you.”
Polly shrugged. “I am stuck with him. My ties locked in two weeks ago.”
The ladies grinned, and Liirel shrugged. “Well, in that case, enjoy the party in whatever way you like. It’s your party, after all.”
Polly grinned and pushed Minoru into a comfortable seat before she settled on his lap. She tapped her lips. “Kiss.”
He grinned and threaded his fingers in her hair, his red eyes glowing. It continued a very fun evening.

Aggie watched as Loki spoke to the troll alpha. He was out of uniform in slacks and a white dress shirt. She walked forward, looking at the black hair and slate-grey eyes. When she got within a few feet, Loki turned and said, “Aggie, this is Bill Granite.”
She covered her lips. “Are you kidding?”
The alpha in question smiled slightly. “I don’t believe in your mark, Aggie, is it?”
She blinked. “That’s fine. You don’t need to believe in it. Not my problem.” She turned and walked away. He moved around her and stopped her.
“You could show me.”
“As I am not being interrogated, I am not under any obligation to show you.”
He sighed and gritted out. “Please.”
“It’s a stupid design.”
“Fate put it on you. May I see if it is for me?”
“How many other troll alphas are out there?”
He grimaced. “I am the only one I know of.”
“Maybe there is a bridge architect alpha that no one knows about.” She crossed her arms.
He sighed. “Please.”
She twisted her lips. “No charges for indecent exposure?”
“No. I have a private office.” He held out his hand.
